For my tastes, I find the table a distraction. Its not as pure and clean as the glass. Alternatively, it does not provide sufficient contrast of a surface with character. The latter may be a distraction to your brief however. Depends on if you are trying to set a mood or purely showcase the beauty of glass.
With mood, is colour an asset or hindrance? Do you want to inject some vibrancy or aim for simple elegance?
Is the overall brightness level what your client desires?

That sounds right, and I would crop a smidgen from the left to centre the weight of the composition.

Forget that I spoke! The mists of time are swirling ... and who is that vague figure - is it Gandalf, or is it Houdini ...? It's gone .. we will never know ...
